We arrived safely in Japan and have pretty much hit the ground running.
Day 1 began with a 1.5-hour journey by train and bus to the Buddhist temple, Katsuo-ji Temple — the Temple of Luck.
The grounds are filled with thousands of small Daruma dolls, placed by visitors as they pray for success and the achievement of personal goals.
The students loved exploring the temple grounds, discovering the many Daruma dolls along the way and collecting stamps to complete their very own printed Daruma on a postcard.
We arrived back at our accommodation around 3:30pm for a well-earned rest, as everyone was feeling tired after the flight and an early start. By 5:30pm, we were ready to head out again and made our way to the famous Dotonbori District.
Stretching along the Dotonbori Canal, the area is renowned for its vibrant entertainment, restaurants and nightlife. With hundreds of thousands of visitors passing through each night, the streets were buzzing with energy.
We stopped for dinner before enjoying a boat ride along the canal. As we cruised through Dotonbori, we took in the dazzling lights, bustling restaurants and packed bridges. People waving as we passed beneath the bridges, adding to the lively atmosphere and making it a wonderful first evening in Osaka.
Day 2 began with a 45-minute express train ride to Nara, where we visited Nara Park and met the famous bowing deer. It was certainly a challenge trying not to get butted, bitten or have our clothes nibbled on! I can tell you, not everyone left Nara Park unscathed.
In the afternoon, we toured Tōdai-ji Temple, followed by Kasuga Taisha Shrine. We spent around 2.5 hours walking around the two sites, taking in the beautiful temples, shrines and surrounding scenery.
We then made our way up to the Wakakusa summit. I must say, the deer up there were much better behaved!
Our guide was amazing and had an incredible amount of general knowledge about the temples, shrines and, of course, the deer. The students were well engaged throughout the tour and really enjoyed learning about the history and culture of the area.
We arrived back at our accommodation around 6:00pm, tired but happy after a full day exploring Nara. It was time for dinner and then an early night, ready to recharge before doing it all again on Day 3!
In 2 days, we have managed to clock up around 50,000 steps. ... See MoreSee Less

And that's nearly a Wrap for Term 3!
What an amazing term it has been at Seaford Secondary College!
Throughout Term 3, our students have embraced every opportunity to learn, grow and connect. From captivating Drama performances to endless excursions, our young people have demonstrated curiosity, resilience and enthusiasm in everything they do.
We've celebrated sporting achievements, explored new ideas during Science Week, and supported students as they planned their futures through 2027 Course Counselling and VET Course Counselling. OSTL students participated in a Barista Course, students challenged themselves through Operation Flinders Foundation, and proudly represented our community at the Aboriginal STEM Congress and NAIDOC March.
One of the most rewarding highlights has been the strengthening relationship between Seaford Secondary College and Kanyanyapilla through collaborative working bees and an overnight camp, building connections that will continue to grow into the future.
The term has also featured incredible international learning experiences through the Kyoto Study Tours, finishing with the much-anticipated Japan Study Tour.
A reminder that Friday 25 September is the final day of Term 3, with students finishing at 2:12pm.
Thank you to our students, staff and families for making this term such a success. We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday break and can't wait to see what Term 4 brings! ... See MoreSee Less
